Structured-Prompt-Driven Development (SPDD)

Structured Prompt-Driven Development (SPDD) is an engineering method developed by Thoughtworks that treats prompts as first-class, version-controlled artifacts used to govern AI-assisted software changes. It centers on the REASONS Canvas—a seven-part structure for Requirements, Entities, Approach, Structure, Operations, Norms, and Safeguards—and uses a defined workflow and the openspdd tool to keep prompts in sync with code. The approach aims to convert business input into a closed loop of requirements, analysis, prompt generation, coding, testing, and release, and emphasizes alignment, abstraction-first thinking, and iterative review, as illustrated by an example of enhancing a billing engine.
